Honestly Clean Code probably isn't worth recommending anymore. We've taken the good bits and absorbed it into best practice. I think it has been usurped by books like "Software Engineering at Google" and "Building Secure and Reliable Systems".

I don't believe in being prescriptive to anyone about how they write their code, because I think people have different preferences and forcing someone to write small functions when they tend to write large functions well is a unique form of torture. Just leave people alone and let them do their job!

I don't think it is the perfect solution, but a lot of people assert "we can't do better, no point in trying, just write whatever you feel like" and I think that is a degenerate attitude. We CAN find better ways to construct and organize our code, and I don't think we should stop trying because people don't want to update their pull requests.
